I recently went to a restaurant and looked at my bill; I'm being told that I must subsidize the wages of the kitchen staff with a 3% tax on the total bill. Then the restaurant charges a meals tax on top of this kitchen tip which is probably not authorized under state law. Interestingly enough, the kitchen staff gets 3% for things they didn't do like pour beverages.

To me, this is nothing but virtue signaling. This pisses me off. They could simply raise the menu prices 3% and then pay their staff more.

If they raise their prices, it increases the revenue on their books.If they then paid their kitchen staff more, the kitchen staff would pay more in taxes, and possibly the business, too.

This is the kind of petty, retarded-jew bullshit that makes liberals feel righteous and smug, which is to say it’s a tax scam masquerading as some we-hate-white-people bullshit.

Nothing more.

Tax scams are always an admirable goal imo.
